Jacobin is towing the politically correct line here and embarrassingly for them,
they have not read anything referred to in the article they publish.
The UN letter by Brennan and Hungerford does not
deny trans persons their rights--if anything it advocates for their rights and
the article by Vigo makes no reference to transgender persons having
'no right to exist'. The Allen piece is purely defamatory and needs to be
addressed by the left. What Jacobin is engaging in is typical neo-liberal
politics attacking those on the left who are cogently addressing important
issues. I would think your group would write a group letter to Jacobin and
ask why they refused to run a rebuttal by Julian Vigo who had asked
that they do. They claimed they could not because of a
lawsuit. So far, no law suit has been filed hence it seems
Jacobin is only capable of lies. You can
contact Julian Vigo, Counterpunch and Jacobin to verify all this.
Cheers,
